We don't even really have kies in U.S. On top of that if its UK only it will just sit there like previous froyo rom that was leaked.

Yea obviously you didn't look before posting your thread.

This is for the galaxy s.... IN SPAIN. This does not apply to people with the vibrant. I would assume the U.S. is more of a priority to Samsung, therefore froyo should be out before then.

why US is more priority,
and even its true,
would you expect Tmobile will do a quick job in modifying it?

Why wouldn't the United States be more of a priority? I didn't even think anyone would have to think about that one.
Sorry if that came out wrong but it is just how it is.

Well, Samsung is a Korean company first off. Second of all, carriers don't lock/change their handsets like the US does, so it gets much easier to update when you take the carrier out of the equation. This is why Europe/Asia get new phones and the updates for those phones before the US.
That is just how it is.

Just remember that we only make up a small portion of the world and also that the galaxy s came out before the vibrant. It makes more sense for samsung to update that first.

Fixed that for you...

And simply by the first launch day, US version of the Galaxy S is much later than the regular i9000, so it is not hard to guess the U.S. variants would get it later than the international version.

Holy crap will everyone just shut up about Froyo. Enjoy the damn phone that you have. Its not like our phones are piles of crap. People are making Froyo out to be some mythical unicorn update. But I'm sure once we get Froyo the same people will be complaining that we don't have Gingerbread yet because the Nexus 1 is getting it in December.

Damn straight! I wish I were mod, then I could lock each and every thread about Froyo.

Lol whats funny is that engadget also reported that the UK Offical Samsung Mobile twitter page reported that
http://www.tmonews.com/2010/08/t-mobile-says-samsung-gps-fix-coming-in-september/
http://www.tmonews.com/2010/08/samsung-testing-gps-fix-for-galaxy-s-phones/
See two pieces of proof something is coming in September, we still have 10 days so lets see what happens.

So We do have like 3 Dates if you want to call it that.
One is September 23, 2010 for Froyo (2.2) which is supposibly for the International Galaxy S. Maybe it'll be compatible with all. Who Knows?
Two is September 29, 2010 for Froyo (2.2) which is for Galaxy S, IDK if all phones or Just International. IDK. I got this date from T-Mobile TODAY. I Called acted like i didnt know Anything about Android and was asking questions about The Samsung Vibrant. The guy said it comes with Android 2.1 but it'll get Android 2.2 soon. I asked if he knew a date, he said hes not for sure but he Read on a Forum somewhere about September 29, 2010. We'll See.
Three is Late October 2010. Which was told TODAY by Samsung Spain and posted on Engadget. So we have 10 days til September is over we'll see what happens. Thats all i know for now.
I'm Really eager like the rest of you to find out when our phones will get 2.2. Not only for Speed Improvement but for GPS Fixes (if implemented), 3 button hardware fix (if implemented) and of course Flash 10, Chome to Phone, the New G-Mail, Google Voice, and Tethering etc.

As eager as I am to get Froyo, I'd rather wait a little longer and let Samsung do it right than have them push something that's been rushed and running like crap. Based on the recent leaks I've seen, the most current Froyo builds have been buggy and not optimized at all.
I think late October/early November is my limit though. If they push it back further, I'm not supporting Samsung anymore. I'll switch to the G2. I can trust HTC will for sure push Gingerbread over to that phone. Who knows what Samsung will do with the Galaxy S then.

Fanboys need to stfu. You do realize many of us have buggy devices, and the fixes are being held up for froyo, right?
Dom't be idiots. Use your brains. The OS is a small issue right now. We want oir phones to work as advertised.
Yes, these buggy devices ARE complete and utter crap.

from looking around and the website url's I think Tmobile is based out of the UK, and this is a Tmobile release. I looked and couldn't find a .us forum for tmobile only .uk including all of the Samsung support also.

I guess the update is directly threw Samsung,
And tmobile vibrant owners can only recieve updates threw tmobile not samsung that's why it wont come over the air and we need to use Kies
Am i rite on this?
If so I wonder if we will have t-mobile bloatware included with update

Once again this is for T-Mobile UK release.
T-Mobile USA is a different company that have the same parent with T-Mobile UK, and many other T-Mobile EU companies - Deutsche Telekom http://www.telekom.com/dtag/cms/content/dt/en/6908

whats that have to do with a software update?
Even if its only "UK" the US version shouldn't be that far behind
Phones are pretty much the same
edit
never mind i didn't relies tmobile UK used the I9000 model

I think that since this is from the UK it is probably meant for the International i9000, not our US Galaxy S's.

you know I would normally agree with you but this is in the general section buddy. I would rather have people post over and over crap in the general section than fill the DEVELOPMENT section with this clutter.
If you don't like threads that you feel have nothing informative in them, by all means don't click on them.

All Galaxy S phones are pretty much the same, but not the same
US update will come when T-Mobile USA releases it, and I am pretty sure there will be a working 2.2 release from the devs here before T-Mo USA releases its bloated version.

Poor choice of words buddy. For one this is general discusion, Two you dont have to be a developer to contribute to other XDA members. And three, this thread isn't even close to the BS *****ing and whining threads that have been trashing general discussion.
I can see why people got confused here because I am one of them
BTW i already said what you, in so many words...but i didn't go calling out everyone in the thread like an asshole.

Without drivers, the devs can't release anything fully working.
I am pretty sure there will be an official release of Gingerbread by Google, by the time we get Froyo on this phone....

fwiw, I posted on Tmobile Facebook page about 2.2 for the Vibrant and they sent me a message, you can check their facebook page to see where they said @Robert sent you a message.
this is the exciting info they sent..
Robert,
We understand your interest on updates Samsung is working on one and as soon as we have any more information on this we will communicate it.
I can assure you all I sent back a pretty nasty but professional message about their lack of speed with updates and while I understand not a single device from the Galaxy S line up has 2.2, I think the first provider that does roll 2.2 is going to be my new cell provider.
If others can get 2.2 on the Samsung Galaxy S before Tmobile, I am personally dropping my lines with Tmobile.

We get Froyo tonight? (Nevermind!)

http://www.tgdaily.com/mobility-brief/52521-samsung-galaxy-s-finally-gets-its-turn-with-android-22
I just read through that article and apparently tonight at 8pm, an update will be available on Samsungmobile.com that will be compatible with all Samsung galaxy s devices that will upgrade them to 2.2.
I hope he means ALL devices. Or I am going to be pissed. :\
EDIT: Look's like the author failed to mention any specifics.

I just saw the comments and thought the same thing. It's kind of stupid that he would attach a picture of the carrier variants even when the update probably isn't for them.
Something useful will come from the source code, just watch. Someone will find something.

Sammy says Froyo for Vibrant in November, right?

Will it happen?

Really........i don't care much anymore I'm already running 2.2 actually I wish it was already out so I could stop hearing about it but then it will just become about 2.3
Still flashing , thanks to odin

I haven't seen SamsungUSA officially state that 2.2 would appear in November for the US Galaxy S series yet.

Yes, I do think we'll have Froyo by November.......2011.

please create an Update Status section and move all these threads over there.

Does it really matter? we have had froyo for quite awhile now and I am sure the custom roms we have available are better than the bloatware infested stock that we would get from any official release. I couldn't care less if sammy ever releases froyo at this point.

apparently we're getting the real deal today, nov 30th, and if not, tomarrow via kies. T-Mobile: Samsung Galaxy S getting FroYo

Froyo has already been around for the Vibrant, what is needed is the 2.2 kernel source so the devs can optimize that and work out the small bugs like the 3.5mm jack for phone calls in Froyo...

Even the people who couldn't read should have been able to look at the pictures in the linked article which clearly show the three button (instead of 4) i9000 Galaxy S device.

DUDE use the ****ing search or google or something and wise your ass up, these threads are getting stupid as hell opening every single day. IF you want froyo then FLASH IT, why do you think the stock one will be that good? it will have lag from the RFS system, no root, chances are the ones that are out now are just as good as sammys or better, and will only improve when the real one comes out.

t-Mobile UK already delayed the Release of Froyo to it's customers. No reason given, but It was supposed to be released via Kies yesterday and no one go it. So a few sources are saying it is/will be delayed yet again.
Samsung told me the other day on Twitter that, "it's coming soon" that same BS, and they actually told me they were "abandoning" the Galaxy S phones (after I said they were...). Then I asked about if we would actually really see it before the end of December and they assured me we would.
I call BS on anything they say anymore about updates, we won't see 2.2 (OFFICIALLY) from T-Mobile or Samsung by the end of this year.

What taking Samsung too long to upgrade to Froyo?

Less bug in their Driver (Bluetooth, Audio, SOC, WiFi), Modem/Radio, TouchWiz 3, and Android Sources in Froyo will give Samsung a faster way to upgrade.
In the future, after Samsung releases Froyo, expect shorter time to upgrade the Epic to (name an android delicious snack).
And because Samsung has own System on a Chip (hummingbird), Samsung has to develop drivers for SOC, it take a long time to find bug and fixing them for future upgrade.

I hope your right... So whats taking so long with CM6.2 lol ,j/k

He's Noobnl...he's one of our "Gods" here he can do w/e he wants 8)

Silly question... is there a Galaxy-S specific to S. Korea? I *know* it wouldn't be the i9000, because S. Korea is 100% CDMA. I'd expect *that one* to have the most active open-source activity, just b/c that's the model Samsung's own developers would be using in real life.
S. Korea is kind of strange... to Americans & Europeans, it looks closed & proprietary. In reality, it has an *incredibly* active homebrew scene. The problem is, Korean doesn't commonly Romanize loanwords, so if you can't read Hangul writing, it looks more alien than even Chinese, and way more foreign than Japanese usually does. And reinforcing the isolation, it's a big country with domestic dev scene that's big enough to keep most Koreans totally happy... for them, there's not much value to make the trouble of digging through English forums worthwhile.
I know this because I have a Robotis Bioloid robot. Their English software & docs are almost *ancient* compared to the Korean ones. Seeing the gap was very eye-opening.
Anyway, my point is that the sourcecode to the CDMA-related .ko modules we need for Froyo & Gingerbread is probably floating around in public *right now* on a site like XDA in Korea. We just need to find it ;-)

Are they even releasing Froyo or are they jumping straight to Gingerbread? At this point, might as well just skip Froyo all together, but seems Samsung hasn't ironed out all the bugs in even Froyo yet.

There will probably be a new Samsung phone out with Gingerbread by the time they get Froyo out for the Epic. Heck they'll prob release the second gen Epic 4G before Froyo comes out.
Reminds me of my frustrating days as a Palm owner. At least we have devs and roms for our Epic.

This reminds me of my last Android phone. I originally had a Hero, we didn't get an official 2.1 until after the EVO came out. Luckily CM6 came out blew the hero away. and then I blew mine apart, from about 300 yards, with a 30-06.

sorry 'bout that
yeah... old post... I didn't see the date until after I posted it. Crap on me.... I had a retarded moment. LOL

I'm confused about something.. (unless recent rumors are true), couldn't samsung just release the source *unofficially* and have developers work on it? And then when their team is ready working out their own stuff, they/sprint can push out their own update?

It would be easier to have patience with Samsung if they actually gave one date and stuck to it. Instead we get Tweets, false rumors, and other phones updating before we get anything. Never again with Samsung.
